DearSugar's Second Date Dos and Don'ts

Once you've conquered the first date, a second date is inevitable if you both felt a connection. But with that second date comes an element of pressure that wasn't there the first time around — now you have to really figure out if you like each other! To help you get through it, I'm back with a few suggestions on how you can master your second date — enjoy!

Do

Don't

Do keep everything in perspective — just because it's your second date, it doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the greatest date of your life, and that's OK.

Do show your true colors and start to reveal a little more about yourself while still keeping some things to the imagination.

Do bring some humor to the table — show your goofy side too.

Do ask those burning questions you want answers to — now is the time to get to know him.

Do be intimate if it feels right.

Don't lie or fabricate your stories.

Don't forget your manners. While you want to be yourself, remember, you're still trying to impress him.

Don't play all your cards at once — keep him on his toes.

Don't talk too far in the future — you don't want to scare him off.

Don't drink too much.

Don't feel pressured into being intimate if you're not ready.

Don't feel bad saying no to a third date if it turns out that there's no spark.

On our second date, I think I "pulled all the stops" don't. I got really dressed up, even though we were only going to dinner and a movie and after that, it was hard to keep up the look, lol. I told him that I just wanted to look really nice for him, since our first date was just coffee.

i love the "don't fabricate stories" tip
by the second date you're probably getting more comfortable and giving more info about your life and i agree, nothing worse than someone trying to impress you with a story that is obviously not real or totally exagerated!
